Pioneer Woman’s Crock Pot Cube Steak
Pioneer Woman’s Crock Pot Cube Steak with gravy is my favorite easy slow cooker recipe. It is very easy to prepare and is perfect for busy weeknights! Only requiring a few ingredients, you’ll be making this for dinner every week! It can be served with any type of rice, potato, or pasta for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup 2 x 10.5 ounce cans
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix use Recipe Secrets Onion or Beefy Onion flavor
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
- ¾ cup water optional, for thinner gravy
- 1 ½ pounds cube steaks 4 to 6 cube steaks
- 1 medium yellow onion sliced (or white onion)
- 6 ounces mushrooms sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Add the cans of cream of mushroom soup, Lipton onion soup mix, and ground black pepper (plus water if desired) to a crock pot, and stir well to combine.
- Put the cube steaks on top of the sauce mixture, adding one at a time and topping each steak with some of the sliced onions. If desired, top the steaks with sliced mushrooms (white mushrooms or cremini).
- Cook on high for 6 hours.
- Serve over rice, potatoes, or pasta.
Notes
- You don’t have to worry too much about overcooking the steak. If you make it before work and come back late, everything will be fine! Cube steak is best cooked between 6 and 8 hours.
- The meat doesn’t need to be flipped. In fact, you should avoid removing the lid until the cooking time has elapsed. By removing the lid, you will allow the steam to escape, which will remove moisture from your food and the chamber. Stirring is also not necessary.
- Add cornstarch to the sauce to thicken it. Mix 1 or 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 or 3 tablespoons of cold water to form a paste and add it to the crockpot towards the end of the cooking process. This can also be done with flour as long as you mix it with water first.
- Thaw your cube steak before adding it to the crockpot as cooking frozen steak in a crockpot will result in too long of a cooking time. To thaw the meat, simply place it in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, you can place it in a plastic bag in cold water until it is thawed.
